《A tale of Might and Magic [Hiatus/Dropped]》35.- New addition 1.1
Advertisement
How does the world of Might and Magic look like?
Well, for starters there is the largest area also known as the NPC empire under players. It is the area that was free for exploration from the beginning and covered the areas from level 1 up to 20. All of it was under the official control of the non player characters with a few exceptions and is the most populated area. Most of it was the usual grassland with few exceptions and it was the area most suited for a peaceful live. You can compare it to the first world countries where everything was fine and dandy, the economic was fine and people had enough jobs so poverty was rare, with of course as always exceptions and a few hobos here and there.
It is ruled by the king that we already met and will play a huge role in the future, a terrifyingly powerful human that is the foundation of the kingdom and the reason why only few have dared to attack him in large scale sieges to try and kill him for glory. And lulz.
But there are also many more areas and kingdoms.
Every time anyone beats a new Raid, a new area opens up for exploration and the players are free to go there with the addition of a higher level cap. Those areas, of which there are 7 right now are at first ruled by their own people but after the raid is beat it is ruled by players. The guilds that managed to beat those raids had the right to claim those lands and have since ruled them. Most of those players that actually wanted to play the game did not really care about that and let someone else rule, someone among their guild of course, but it was still a nice thing to have, a symbol of prestige among the players and did manage to bring in a considerable income.
The latest are with the level cap of 34 is of course where the most players are at right now, at least those that still have the hope to beat the raid that many have deemed unbeatable for its unique nature and borderline unfair and traumatic mechanics.
The atmosphere in that area would best be described as eerie and made people usually feel uneasy. The sun never shone there and it was always either the night or dark day as heavy gray clouds blocked the sky. The land was mostly covered in sumps and trees that had nothing growing on them, strange beasts were dominating everywhere and outside of bigger towns no humans were seen. The strangest thing about those lands was that if you were to look deeper into them, you would find that in the dark quite a few strange beings were following everyone on every of their step and often if you looked away for only a couple of seconds and turned back, you would find that something was missing or not the way it was before, as if the land itself was playing a prank on you. It was truly strange, an area that caused many players to panic and flee, designed to play with the minds of simple folks and only allowing the strong minded to continue. No matter how you looked at it, ti was not normal, it was not the conventional mmo formula, there were not many truly hard enemies to face and even the creatures of nightmares that were ravishing those lands were not really strong, at least not physically, instead all of them had strange and unique powers that if not handled carefully, would mean your death. It was not the normal kind of enemy where your stats mean whether you would loose or win, here only the power of your mind counted, both in the sense of sharpness and your soul. So no wonder that this was the currently longest time that no one has beaten the raid and players faced a bottleneck, it was not something people had faced before. Oh, and should be mentioned that the “penalty” in these lands was borderline unfairly game braking and certainly no fun.

Right now the team of our heroes (?) is traveling trough the latest area to the latest raid. They are still lacking a few levels to reach the cap and as such they have to hunt a few beasts on their way there.
5 of them were fighting the large and bizarre looking creatures that seemed to be designed from nightmares. They were of course Artjem, Benjamin, Calvin, Elena and Jordan, who could it be else?
Like I would introduce new characters out of nowhere and the story would go on like that with them, of course those are those cunts, jeez...
The children were casually playing with Daisy and funnily enough did not fear the monsters or strange lands at all. Daisy also who did not have any desire to fight right now. Meantime the new female addition, Isabelle was chatting with everyone.
“So guys, you heading for the Maze, right?” She casually asked everyone. “So you also have to do the test.”
“Ye. Is it really a maze? And what is the catch?”
“Hehe, let's just say it is different from mostly everything else. Are you familiar with dark souls?”
“Ye.” 'Bitch, do you even know who you are talking to?' I sneered in my mind at the poor brats ignorance.
“Well, should be comparable to that in difficulty and overall design. Few actual enemies but many traps and just an absurdly high difficulty level. Oh, and players are heavily limited there, the punishments are severe and usually you can not even trust yourself, let alone your friends. You know, really fun stuff actually.”
“Sounds lame... So what? Wanna join?” I asked.
“Nah, I am fine...” She strangely abandoned that theme right away and returned back to Ben and started to obnoxiously flirt with him.
“Artjem!” Calvin called out to me. “Move your ass over here, time to work on our coordination.”
We were facing of a few creatures that looked like they were a badly mutated version of a man and a fly. Disgusting. But the worst thing about them was that they would try to insert their big black stick into your body and would kind of suck your life force or whatever out of you, instakilling most people.
And I don't want no big black stick in my body, let me tell you that.
Ben was a 15 or so meters off and fought by himself while the rest of us were together.
“What about Ben? 'we need to work on our coordination' So why can he be on his own?” I asked while giving him an annoyed look.
“First of all, we already fought together and he is fine. Second, he is not a fucking glascanon that will be killed by the enemy looking in his direction so shut the fuck up and do your god damn job.”
“You do not even pay me, how is that a job?” I asked with ridicule.
“Well, with that attitude you should know why you are not getting payed.” He answered with heavy doses of sarcasm.
“Good one.” No, but really, he got me there.
However out of nowhere I heard a cute voice behind me that I liked to hear so much, but this time... it wasn't cute at all. “THIS WAS NOT A GOOD ONE AT ALL!” Daisy was borderline screaming at me all of a sudden. “This was a lame and cringe worthy joke that I have heard a thousand times from lame and cringe worthy TV shows, do you think comedy is easy?” She gave me the death stare. “Do you think comedy is just a game?”

“N-no, come on, this was just some bickering between me and him, no reason to freak out so much.”
“So it is just a game for you?!” She snorted. “Excuse yourself, right here and now for that joke that made my ears bleed and never do it again!”
“Jeez, sorry.”
She snorted and in a blink of an eye turned around with her face now plastered with a smile as she continued to play with the children.
I was still blown away by that sudden performance and needed some time to collect myself, but after that we continued.
So we started to fight in formations. Calvin would always try to be in the front while it was my task to stay behind and find opportunities to attack an d retreat. Which was also really stupid since the enemies weren't shit but it was for the sake of training or whatever.
Like that Calvin had 4 of them ugly mofoes attacking him while Elena was fingering her spells of in the comfortable distance and the other kid was together with me dealing melee damage.
Jordan or whatever that unnecessary side characters name was. He kinda popped out of nothing and I was told that he would stick with us around, which was not a problem in itself since I can at least tolerate quite people, which he was, but.... If I had eye cancer, then that cancer would have found it cancerous the way he “fights.”
He stood to the left of one of the mobs and attacked it. His stance was lackluster, not that I am a master of stances and know what I am talking about, but I am not bad either. Just watching at him I can see that he absolutely lacks any self confidence, not that it is not understandable. He just looks like the kind of guy that you see in class in school and you immediately know: “Well, that sonofabitch will get his fucking face dumped into the toilet today!” He just had that air around him that... attracted people as me hehe.
He also held his weapon wrongly, I can not put it into words but I know that it would be the easiest thing in the world for me to disarm him. Other than that he was clearly showing fear while fighting.
As I was casually fighting them and getting bored, I even opened up a player and started listening to music and tried to stab only with the beat as some kind of mini game and because it was boring as a mofo so I needed to make it more fun.
I also started to silently sing along as I so often do.
However even like that I still cough with a side glance of how Jordan was doing.
As one of the disgusting things was occupied with Calvin, the kid clumsily came from the side and stabbed towards the thing but managed to actually miss as the creature was still in the middle of its movement and as such he only managed to scratch its disgusting black slimy skin.
I cringed inwardly and asked myself 'Really Niggah?'
Oh and he is not black, the opposite actually, he is the whitest white kid that you can possibly imagine, however this articulation method still felt the most appropriate in this kind of situation hehe.
As I also without any worry evaded one more swing from those beasts, I did still kept on watching that brat. If you would ask me for whatever reason, I would answer you with the two girls one cup phenomenon, it was horrible and yet one could not simply look away. There was also the anticipation if it could actually get any worse. It was also second hand cringe, so you could not just look away, especially if you were a person such as me and liked to feel the deep embarrassment for other people trough them and kind of enjoyed the emotions it stirred within you.
And so the show continued. Now the kid pulled the sword behind him and took a big swing. His sword also started to glow so he was using some skill. As actually took a few quick steps forward and reached the creature, he with all the force behind him send a big swing forwards. It looked really nice and I was actually curious what this skill was but in the next few seconds I was holding my laughter back.
The brat actually managed the pierce the thing completely but as he was about to take the sword out of it, the beast roared and turned its body around with the sword still in it and as such the kid lost his weapon and fell on his ass. He was actually terrified of the creature and started to move backwards like the little bitch that he was.
I did not know whether to laugh or to cry. Or to laugh very loudly and call him a little bitch cunt. All the choices seemed so tempting...
What surprised me greatly was however that the big giant fuck, also known as (w) incestuous cozy sibling number two: male tsundere-isch edition was showing great displeasure and annoyance while actually giving the kid a sharp glare, and grunted for everyone to hear.
This was really not something I expected as I kind of had the impression of him being the calm introvert type that was easily misunderstood as uncaring but was actually nice to everyone. Hmm, I guess one learns something new everyday.
We did not bother to help him and just watched how it would play out from there. I also wanted to scream “get fucked kiddo!” after he died, but whatever...
On his ass, the kid started to crawl backwards while the beast prepared its big black thing to enter the kids mouth and was about to ambush him. Now the kid turned around and got on his fours while presenting his ass to the monstrosity.
'Oh no kiddo, you just exchanged your mouth for your anal virginity, not sure if it was worth it, but who am I to judge you? You certainly have your priorities hehe.'
It was quite a sight to behold as the brat desperately tried to escape and actually had teary eyes. Meantime the beast already got ready and jumped in the air to reach the brat and do its deed.
Call me a homosexualgayfaggot, but at that moment I could not keep my excitement hidden and actually wanted to see what was about to happen. A giant wolfish grin was across my face and I kept on repeating the 3 legendary words in my head “Just do it!”
But at that moment I was deeply disappointed as a bolt of lightning flew from behind me and hit the monster in its head, not allowing the show that I would strangely even pay money to see to happen.
Sometimes even I myself have to ask me if there is anything wrong with me...
Nah! Must be my imagination!
That moment I furiously turned around and screamed at the culprit. “ELENA! The fuck is wrong with you? You ruined it!” I shot her a deadly glare but she only had at first an unbelievable expression and then started to smirk at me and giggled.
All I got in return from the others were a few glares and everyone shook their heads.
“Whatever.” One of the beasts was still attacking me so I took it by its big black thong and with a swift motion cut it off. “Catch!” I threw that thing away and watched it actually chase it like an obedient dog.
Lol.
But now was not the time for that. Annoyed that I did not receive my bestiality action, I came to the kid and stood in front of him as he was still frightened.
I looked down on him and raised my eyebrow because he was still not standing up. “What? Expect me to give you a hand?” I sneered and actually stretched my hand towards him.
However as soon as he smiled and stretched his hand towards mine, I took it away and flipped him off while sneering at him. “Get fucked hahah!”
The kid looked quite hurt back at me and made me almost give a shit, but only almost.
At the same time Elena came from behind and helped him up. She even went as far as starting to dust his clothes off on his legs and behind. The brat looked quite embarrassed at that.
There was also another person that looked quite pissed off seeing this scene and I do not think I have to tell anyone who it was hehe.
There was also another cute girl that came to us and looked angrily at me. “Artjem! Quite being such an ass! What will Hannah think of you if you keep on being like that?”
I gave Hannah a glance and asked “We cool?”
The cute child nodded her head seriously “Mmmmh!” and gave me a thumbs up. “The strong rule the weak and the weak deserve no sympathy, nothing wrong with that.” She then shot a disgusted glance to the kid and continued. “If he was not a stranger, that weakling would have long been a
dead or worse, a slave. He does have the looks to be used for “lust” or whatever that is supposed to mean..” She shook her head in disapproval and did not bother to give him any more of her attention.
I started to laugh furiously at that and gave her a big hug. She deserved it.
At that Daisy looked absolutely ashen faced and was actually ashamed. “I can not believe it... “
I sat the child back on the ground and petted her head with a big smile. I honestly can not complain with the way she is growing up.
“What have I actually done? It was because of me that she..” Daisy continued to talk with herself in a whisper right next to us.
I was told that the child's personality would be melded from mine as she was growing with extreme speeds and would take me as a role model and absorb all knowledge like a sponge.
Just imagine a female version of mine! She could do sooo much shit and actually easily get away with that hahah! Female power!
“Oh no..” meantime Daisy could only have come to the same conclusion as she looked with fear at me and thought of possible means to prevent that. “I must..”
Indeed, she most likely wanted to prevent that by all means, to safe the child's innocence or some shit like that pff.
As I saw that I took the girl in embrace again and petted her head from behind her while talking to her. “Say Hannah, do you like it with me here?” I asked her for everyone to hear and had a “honest” smile on my face.
The girl nodded her head shyly and casted a fearful glance at me.
“So you like me? I like you too.” My hand was still wandering trough her hair and I could see clear surprise and shock on her face. “It is a lot of fun here, right? Would you go away from me to someone else?” I asked her innocently and with clear worry on my face.
She immediately was fearful and shook her head furiously, not letting go of me now that I have hinted at the possibility of us being separated.
I saw that reaction and tightly hugged her. “Me neither.” I then gave Daisy an evil grin that should have told her everything.
'Muhahah! Artjem 2.0 vagina edition coming soon!' A last time I petted her head with a giant grin on my face and told her to go back and play with the little Fiora.
To that Daisy could only shake her head in defeat and shame.
Anyway, back to the main topic. I walked to the kid that was now watching me weirdly and had some fear in his eyes.
Time to set some things straight.
AN: Rate, favor, subscribe, like, give me 100 $ an a blowjob, offer me your first born, and sacrifice your wife to the almighty chinchin.
XOXO love you guys <3

Mistakes Lead To Success
Mistakes were made and it led to the death of Natalie Freemen. Her soul was captured and cared for by an young god but such protection come with a cost. Instead of taking the original offer she decided to make a deal. She would rome the multiverse and steal the essence that thrives them. In return she could become a demigod. Updates at random Romance is not the focus but a major plot point. I will take suggestions and corrective criticism. *Important Note* This makes for sense as you read along. This story is created by the viewer but there is a twist. Some chapters are static, meaning that it is to propel the plot. Others have polls that will affect other chapters but without a question. This means you don't know what it effects or in which chapter. I wanted to added this effect to create a suspense, something I didn't feel as much in other reader interactive stories. Your vote could create fortune or misfortune for the main character. I know what it will effect because have a chart that tells me the possible routes. You just have to wait and see what your choice have done. I'll even write which poll effects the chapter in the authors note. Characters could die in the story and they won't be leads anymore. In comments you can ask for a detail chart for each poll but it will only be for one answer per poll. I will chose the most requested answer. I do not own the photo.
